John Everett Millais Research Paper

Today’s issue with schools named after our first prime minister, John A. Macdonald may not be worth doing something about but maybe having a good discussion about. Changing the names of monuments and things named after historical figures from the past because of racism is not ideal because of how things were and how people thought in the past which cannot be judged by our present eyes but maybe, the reasons for their wrongdoings could be well understood now for humanity to never make the same mistakes and move forward into a better future where our past is understood and respected but also seen both the good way and the bad way.

The early leader that I choose to write about for this paper is John Muir. John Muir was born on April 21, 1838 in Dunbar, Scotland. John Muir has been credited with a lot of great things that have benefited the parks and recreation movement. The contributions that he founded back then are still being felt around the world today. At first John Muir, has been credited as the found of the National Parks System.

Ever since John Muir’s childhood, he always loved nature. Muir was born April 21, 1838 in beautiful rural Scotland. He loved to escape out into the Scottish wilderness and explore its unknown beauty. Even when he moved to America at age 11, he continued to sneak away from home to explore the wilderness of Wisconsin. But Muir was more than just a man of nature, he was a man of science. He attended the university of Wisconsin, but dropped out; not because of his grades, but because he took the classes he wanted and not the required ones. Muir was an avid inventor, submitting many of his creations to the state fair. Muir once created a “wondrous device that tipped him out of bed before dawn”(Wood 2015). Muir later moved to montreal, Canada to

Henri Rousseau, born in May 21, 1844, was a self-taught artist who started his artistic career when he was forty. He began his life working as a clerk, then he joined the French army after being accused of stealing money from his employer. He later moved to Paris and obtained a job working for the French Customs Office, and it was there that he began painting part-time. It was really this background of his that allowed his paintings to be original and uninfluenced by traditional painting techniques. Since he was a self-taught artist and had no significant experience with painting, he had the freedom to paint as he perceived and as he imagined. Henri Rousseau was a man who liked to exaggerate his life to make himself seem adventurous and exciting. He made up stories about his time in the military and overstated his importance in the Customs office where he worked. This was also reflected in his artwork where manipulated the painting to emphasize beauty and excitement.

John Stuart Mills believes that people should not be controlled. Still, it is established that people have to be controlled to an extent to ensure that society stays in order. It was mentioned in the reading that measures are put in place to ensure that employers provide safety equipment for workers working in a dangerous environment. In this case, employers have the free will to do whatever they want to do with their employees but having a set policy that states that they must provide safety equipment in a sense limits their freedom to do whatever they please.

According to the principle of utility, all actions or behaviors are right as long as these actions or behaviors promote happiness or pleasure. If the actions promote sadness, pain or undesirable results, then the action is not in accordance with the principle of utility. John Stuart Mill states in his book Utilitarianism that the “Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness”. (Feinberg pg. 597) What mill is inferring is that actions that are done with the intentions of causing pleasure and with no pain. If the action causes pain or it results in no pleasure, the action would result

Sir John Everett Millais was born on June 8, 1829 in Southampton, England to John William Millais and Emily Marie Millais. Their family had a French background and were wealthy people in the middle class, partly due to the fact that the mother's family were very successful saddlers, which are people who were skilled at making saddles (Artmagick 1, Tate 1). When Millais was little he was considered a child prodigy when it came to painting and his family moved to London in 1838 to improve contacts with the Royal Academy (Tate 1).

Carl Milles (Carl Emil Wilhelm Anderson) was born at Orby in Lagga near Uppsala, Sweden on 23 June 1875 and died at his home in Lidingo, Sweden on 19 September 1955. He was the world famous Swedish sculptor during the first half of the 20th century. In 1892-1897, he was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker and woodworker when he left school and attended evening classes at the Technical School in Stockholm in woodwork and later in carving and modeling. He showed a talent for sculpture in the evening classes and was awarded a scholarship from the Swedish Society of Arts and Crafts. He was then offered a job in Santiago, Chile to help manage a school of Swedish gymnastics. However, he stopped at Paris on the way to Chile and remained in Paris until 1904 and attended lectures at the Sorbonne to study art. He was admitted to the salon in 1899 and later worked in the studio of Auguste Rodin. He slowly got the recognition as a sculptor.
